CPA (Controlled Polymer Ablation), surface preparation technology is a method to improve adhesive bonding of fibre reinforced polymer composites, both improving bond performance and reducing operational steps in achieving these bond improvements. This presentation will review the benefits and pitfalls associated with current process and technology applications, and will subsequently focus on PlasmaBound's offering to this critical area, enabling the broader adoption of these lightweight materials into aerospace, automotive, space, transportation, sports & leisure, wind energy and consumer electronics sector.
